9/11 Ticket Agent Suicide: Can We Ever Trust Oprah Again?
Friday, September 15th, 2006
An Atrios guest-blogger posts something rather insensitive about a 9/11 American Airlines ticket agent killing herself due to guilt. It becomes a minor left-blogdom in-fight (and wins one of Andrew Sullivan’s patented “not funny anymore” awards). The source: an Oprah repeat. The problem: there’s not actually any proof that this ever happened.
Our own half-assed investigation, after the jump.
